Just the Facts, Ma'am 2018

Once again Bev Hankins has posted a clever challenge for those who love reading classic mystery novels. This year, we will be reading to get "Just the Facts" where those facts should fit in the categories of who, when, where, what, how and why  in our detective notebook.

If we choose to read mysteries written before 1960 in the Golden Age, our notebook will look like this.

If we choose to read mysteries written in the Silver Age between 1960 and 1989, our notebook will look like this.

There will be prizes based on the number of clues found. Of course, it is all more complicated than this and you will find all of the rules at the Just The Facts web site at https://myreadersblock.blogspot.com/2017/11/vintage-mystery-challenge-2018-just.html.  I am going to read Golden Age mysteries, and hope to get some of the blocks in my notebook filled.
